User Review of BMW X3 xDrive20d xLine

Luxury can not be explained in words. It can be felt. Earlier I was having Skoda L&K. It was perfect car in itself for myself. I decided to use it for at least 10 years. My son who is a fight pilot in Indian Air Force as Wing Commander, one day called BMW dealer for the Test Drive of BMW X3 20d. After the test drive I felt the luxury of this vehicle, sitting comfort, driving comfort, shocker's absorbance, noiseless cabin. I immediately booked the car.It has passed four years since then. ... 28

It comprises of 4-cylinders and 16-valves that makes a total displacement capacity of 1995cc. This motor also has a twin-power turbocharger that helps it to pump out a maximum power of 190bhp at 4000rpm and results in a peak torque output of 400Nm between 1750 to 2500rpm. It is skilfully paired with an advanced 8-speed steptronic automatic transmission gearbox that delivers torque to all four wheels with the help of xDrive intelligent 4WD system. This vehicle can zoom towards a top speed of 210 Kmph, while taking only about 8.1 seconds to breach a 100 Kmph speed mark.

Braking and Handling:

All its four wheels have been equipped with a set of internally vented discs, which are further loaded with high performance brake calipers. This trim is also integrated with an anti lock braking system that works in collaboration with brake assist and cornering brake control. It also has an electromechanical power assisted steering that provides excellent response. Both the front and rear axles have been equipped dynamic damping control suspension, which helps it to deal with any road condition it is driven on. At the same time, this trim comes incorporated with dynamic traction control including stability control function, which keeps the vehicle stable by reducing the loss of traction.
